Essentials

City
Pescara, capital of the province of Pescara in Abruzzo, at the mouth of the Aterno-Pescara. It is the largest city in the region. The municipality was formed in 1927 from the fortress south of the river and Castellammare Adriatico to the north. The council says a merged Comune di Pescara, taking in Montesilvano and Spoltore, is set for 1 January 2027 under regional law 13/2023. 1 9
Population
118,487 residents in 2026, the figure Wikipedia takes from ISTAT. The same page puts the surrounding urban area at about 294,800. 1
Currency & Banking
Euro (EUR). The Italy costs prep uses the ECB reference rate of 19 October 2026: 1 euro = 1.1225 US dollars, or 0.8909 euro per US dollar. 32 4
Tap Water
Drinkable again after a short ban. On 17 April 2026 the mayor revoked the 8 April order that had stopped people drinking the municipal supply during ACA works on 13 and 14 April, after the ASL said the samples met the law. Do not drink from a fountain signed non potabile. 8 4
Power
230 V, 50 Hz, Type C (Europlug), Type F (Schuko) and Type L (Italian three-pin). 4
SIM Card
iliad prepaid. A new SIM is €9.99 to activate. GIGA 150 is €7.99 a month for 150 GB. TOP 230 is €9.99 a month for 230 GB plus 18 GB of EU roaming. GIGA 250 is €11.99 a month for 250 GB. Bring a passport; the shop usually makes a codice fiscale from it. TIM, Vodafone and WindTre also sell prepaid SIMs. The city cost file uses TOP 230 for the monthly plan and GIGA 150 plus activation for a tourist SIM. 5 6 4
Banking for Expats
A prepaid SIM is registered to a passport, and the shop usually creates a codice fiscale from that ID. Cards are the normal way to pay. The non-EU digital nomad and remote worker visa is for highly skilled applicants, meaning a post-secondary degree or at least three years of training or experience. 4 43
Accommodation
Immobiliare asking prices in September 2026: Centro was €2,878 per square metre to buy and €11.32 per square metre a month to rent, so a 60 square metre flat there is about €679 a month. The citywide rent average was €10.04 per square metre, about €602 for 60 square metres, in line with the €601 one-bedroom in the city cost file. Porta Nuova / Stadio was €8.11 per square metre a month. 10
Cashless Friendly
Cards are widely used. Wikivoyage says a restaurant coperto is common, a tip is not required, and leaving the change (tenga il resto) is the usual gesture. Beach bars still take cash. 4 2
Short Term Rentals
For a longer stay, Immobiliare listed Centro asking rent at €11.32 per square metre a month in September 2026. For a few nights, Italian Wikivoyage lists Elisir B&B at Corso Umberto I 18, about 100 metres from the station, with a low-season double at €65. The guide does not date that rate. 10 3
Budget Accommodation
Elisir B&B, Corso Umberto I 18, is the lowest nightly rate on a page opened for this pass: a low-season double at €65 on Italian Wikivoyage. A current hostel tariff was not on a page opened here. 3
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
The north-bank centre, Corso Umberto I and the lungomare, for the beach and the shops. Evenings are in Pescara Vecchia, along Corso Manthonè. 2 3
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Porta Nuova, on the south bank: Spazio 010 is at Via dei Peligni 91/93, and September 2026 asking rent in Porta Nuova / Stadio was €8.11 per square metre a month. The station side of the north bank is the other walkable base. The cheaper coworking desk is in the Torretta industrial zone by the airport, not a neighbourhood to live in. 15 10 14

Working and Networking

Best Coworking Space
Spazio 010, Via dei Peligni 91/93, is the in-town desk: €30 a day or €200 a month, both excluding VAT, weekdays 09:00 to 19:00. Coworking Pescara Torretta, Strada Vicinale Torretta 12, in the industrial zone by the airport (TUA buses 4 and 11), is €20 a day or €175 a month excluding VAT for a one-person desk. The city cost file uses that €175 plus 22% VAT. 15 13 14
Networking Events
Spazio 010, Via dei Peligni 91/93, shares a floor it calls bizmatching and hosts book presentations and a Sunday film through Libreria Primo Moroni, in the space since November 2017. A named digital-nomad meetup was not on a page opened here. 16

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
itTaxi, the local radio-taxi app, at Via Giuseppe Verdi 4, phone +39 085 35155, listed as open every day. A legacy archive of municipal fields, which says it is not a current fare schedule, lists a daytime start of €3.50 and €1.10 per km (€1.40 per km from 22:00 to 06:00). The city cost file uses those archive figures. 17 18
Bike/Scooter Rental
FIAB Pescarabici, in Pescara Porta Nuova station on Piazza E. Berlinguer, rents city bikes and e-bikes. The price list dated 5 July 2023, still on the site, is €40 a day, €70 a week or €130 a month for a private renter, plus a €50 deposit. Phone +39 371 1906295. 19
Best Beach Nearby
The city beach runs along the lungomare, with beach clubs and a few free stretches between the centre and the stadium. Torre del Cerrano marine protected area is about 20 km away: A14 exit Atri-Pineto, then the SS16, or a train to Pineto-Atri or Silvi. 2 20
Top Regional Airline
Ryanair is the main airline at Abruzzo Airport (PSR) and bases two aircraft there. Its winter 2025 and summer 2026 domestic flying includes Milan Bergamo, Milan Malpensa, Turin, Cagliari and Trapani. 21 2
Top International Airline
The same Ryanair programme is the international network. Summer 2026 is 21 routes, including a new Tirana service, and the winter 2025 list adds Krakow, Valencia, Wroclaw and Kaunas. English Wikivoyage, updated February 2025, calls Ryanair the main operator. 21 2
Highway Access

A plain urban one-ride ticket is €1.30. The city cost file uses the €40.80 pass. Information line 800 142 880. 7
Regional Travel
Regional trains from Pescara Centrale run the Adriatic coast and inland to Rome via Sulmona, about four hours on the English guide. Italian Wikivoyage also lists Prontobus coaches to Rome, the Rome airports and Naples, and ARPA regional buses. A live Trenitalia fare was not taken from checkout. 2 3

Business

Corporate Tax
IRES is 24% and ordinary IRAP is 3.9%. PwC, reviewed 13 July 2026, also describes a cut of IRES from 24% to 20% for FY 2025 only, for companies that reinvest profits. 35
Dividend Withholding Tax
26% withholding on dividends paid to resident individuals. PwC reviewed the page on 13 July 2026. 36
Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
About €2,878 per square metre in the Centro zone in September 2026, Immobiliare asking prices for homes of every size, not split by bedrooms. A 40 square metre flat at that rate is about €115,120. 10
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
About €1,507 per square metre in Tirino / Fontanelle, the lowest zone on the same September 2026 index, again for all home sizes. A 40 square metre flat at that rate is about €60,280. 10
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)

Tax System
Residents are taxed on worldwide income. Tax residence is more than 183 days in the year, counting fractions of days, if you are physically present, have your habitual abode, or have your domicile, the centre of personal and family life, in Italy. 40 34
Highest Income Tax Bracket
43% on income above €50,000. For 2026 the band from €28,000 to €50,000 is 33%, down from 35%. 34
VAT
22% standard IVA. Reduced rates include 4% and 5% on listed goods. 37
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. A controlled foreign entity is included when its effective tax rate is under 15% and more than one third of its revenue is passive. The test was aligned by Legislative Decree 209/2023. 38
Property Tax
IMU. An ordinary main home is exempt. Only luxury main homes in categories A/1, A/8 and A/9 are taxed as a main home. Pescara latest Finance Ministry prospectus is still the 2025 one, council resolution 25 of 27 February 2025: those luxury main homes 0.6%, other buildings 1.06%. 41 42
Property Transaction Tax
Buying a first home from a private seller, or from a company selling exempt from VAT: registration tax 2% instead of 9%, with a minimum of €1,000, plus €50 mortgage tax and €50 cadastral tax. From a company charging VAT, the VAT rate on a first home is 4%. 33
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
Not a low-tax base: residents are taxed on worldwide income. From the 2024 tax year the inbound-worker regime excludes 50% of qualifying Italian employment or self-employment income, up to €600,000 a year, for the year of the move and the next four. With a minor child the taxed share falls to 40%. Italy also has a digital nomad and remote worker visa for non-EU highly skilled applicants. The larger exemption in the old cheatsheet is not the rule for a move now. 39 40 43
